Chapter 22 Chapter 22 How dare skin-to-skin kisses bully the darkroom flesh and blood company but hide the truth

Daoist Yunniang brought Qing Houer to rescue Wu Ciyou, and fought with Huangfu Baozhu's men.In the middle of the fight, Yunniang suddenly found that Qing Houer could not stand it any longer.Hastily shouted: "Hou'er, I'm here to save you, get out and go." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and four golden darts flew out at the same time. Two of the four guards surrounding Qing Hou'er were beaten, and the other two only wanted to dodge. Why not Qing Hou'er twisted his body and went up to the roof: " Master, my apprentice is gone, so you should get away too." As he said that, he also shot two golden darts, which flew over and knocked down the enemy behind Yunniang.

Taking advantage of the panic and confusion among the crowd, Li Yunniang returned to the house in a flash, stabbed the two guards to death like lightning, helped Wu Ciyou up and pulled out the back window.Seeing Yunniang's swift movement, Huangfu Baozhu couldn't help but secretly startled, quickly raised his bow and set an arrow, and shot at Yunniang, who was about to jump onto the wall with Wu Ciyou on her back, and couldn't dodge, with a plop, the arrow landed on the ground.Everyone shouted, and when they turned to arrest them, they saw a pool of blood on the ground, but the two of them disappeared.

"It is said that all the yamen servants will be dispatched together, and the whole city will be searched!" Zheng Chunyou shouted angrily, sweating profusely. Standing behind him, Kong Lingpei grabbed Zheng Chunyou's arm: "Slow down, my lord, the stolen gongs and drums can't be played!" Baozhu also wiped the sweat from his face, and said coldly: "Forget it! Let’s leave immediately tonight. Old Zheng, you also hurry up and make arrangements for the funeral, let’s go!” But it was said that a green monkey flew out of the government office and stood in the shadow outside the west wall, waiting to meet the master.After a while, he heard a loud shout from inside: "Shot down, hurry up, catch the alive!" He was anxious and wanted to rush into the mansion again, but suddenly there was no movement inside.He waited and waited, but the master didn't come out. He thought to himself, with his master's great ability, he would definitely not let them catch the bets. If there was trouble, he went back to the inn by another way.With this glimmer of hope, he ran back to the inn without touching the ground, opened the door and saw that there was no one there, guessing that Master must have been murdered, he leaned against the wall and cried bitterly.While weeping, he was still complaining: "Master, where are you? What's so good about that Wu Ciyou, you pretended to be desperate to save him, put your own life in it, and left your apprentice, where are you going?" ..."

He was crying emotionally, but it might as well be suddenly grabbed by the arm: "What are you talking about, Wu Ciyou, where is Wu Ciyou now?" Qing Hou'er was startled, knowing that he had slipped his mouth in grief, and quickly stopped crying "I cry whenever I like, can you control me?" As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I heard a woman behind me say: "Hey! What a big temper! Whose child are you, so wild?" Qing Houer Without looking back: "Who told you to take care of the master's affairs." While speaking, he was about to draw his sword.The person who was pulling him before suddenly called back to the woman: "Master, why is this child crying here just now?" Wu Ciyou.

"Ah, good boy, don't be afraid, do you know Wu Ciyou?" Qing Hou'er turned around and saw that it was a noble woman in palace attire, behind her stood four maids holding palace lanterns, and a general in military attire and sword.He didn't dare to be dumbfounded, and asked alertly with wide eyes: "What are you doing?" "Son, look, I don't look like a bad person. Let me tell you, I am Wu Ciyou's cousin, and I came to look for him. If you want to know his whereabouts, tell me, let's go rescue him together, okay?" Qing Hou'er looked at this woman carefully, and saw that she had a kind and gentle face, and heard her kind words, her voice, her eyes, which were not much different from Yun Niang's.A stomach full of grievances came to my heart: "Mr. Wu, he, he was arrested by the magistrate here, and my aunt, no, my master, because he went to save Mr. Wu, he was also arrested..."

"Son, don't be sad. Your aunt has been arrested. Am I not your aunt too? Come on, there are too many people in this store. Come with me on the boat and let's talk slowly if you have something to say." But it is said that Li Yunniang escaped from the government office with Wu Ciyou on her back with an arrow wound. She was as anxious as a spark, and as fast as a cloud, she crossed the top of the city wall and came to the suburbs.Wu Ciyou swallowed Zheng Chunyou's dumb medicine, and was tied tightly by the guards again. At this moment, hearing Yunniang's heavy panting, he was speechless again, sweating profusely all over his body.Yunniang seemed to know Wu Ciyou's mood, and seeing that there was no one chasing him, she put Wu Ciyou down in the bushes beside a river embankment and untied him from the rope.However, due to excessive blood loss and injuries, he couldn't stand up after sitting down.Wu Ciyou stretched his arms that had been numb from the tying, and looked at the stars in the sky that it was the fourth watch.Unlimited emotion rose in his heart: Alas, my friend Wu Ci also suffered a lot of hardships in life, just out of the tiger's mouth, and then into the wolf's den.If it wasn't for Yunniang, how could she get rid of this disaster.

At this moment, Yunniang groaned softly.He hurriedly leaned down to take a closer look, under the starlight, he saw Yunniang's face was pale, half lying on the soil slope motionless, he took her hand and wrote in the palm of her hand: Where is the injury?Does it matter? " Although Yunniang's injury was not serious, but because there was no time to bandage, she lost a lot of blood along the way, so she felt dizzy for a while.She forced a smile and said: "On the swollen shoulders, no...it's okay..." Wu Ciyou heard this, and regardless of his sleepiness, he came over and wanted to unbutton Yunniang's clothes. Yunniang cried out:

"Don't touch me!" The hand that Wu Ciyou stretched out just now retracted like an electric shock.Oh, the person lying next to me is not the old Daoist Yuliang, let alone the "little brother".She... oh!After contemplating for a long time, Wu Ciyou finally couldn't help but wrote again in Yunniang's hand: "I am not a frivolous villain, and you are not a mediocre woman. Bleeding hurts your spirits, please don't worry." Yunniang didn't speak anymore, she closed her eyes tightly, as if she had passed out.Wu Ciyou carefully untied her blood-soaked clothes, tore off his sleeves, and tied the wound tightly.When he covered Yunniang's skirt, he suddenly bumped into a hard object and touched it with his hand. It turned out to be the chicken blood sapphire inkstone that he gave Yunniang when he was seriously ill!In an instant, love, regret, bewilderment, and melancholy all came to my heart.He stood up resolutely, carried Li Yunniang who was in a coma on his back, and faced the cold wind and dew at the fifth watch, he walked towards a dark and gloomy village in the distance.

As we walked, we came to a place that looked like a small town.Wu Ciyou put his mother down, walked up to him and carefully identified it, but it turned out to be a stele pavilion.He stepped forward to touch the words on the stele, and was shocked again: Ah, why did you come to the Confucius Temple in Qufu?Well, there are many good people in the hometown of the sage, maybe he can find a good family.But after thinking about it, it can't be done. Isn't Zheng Chunyou's master, Kong Lingpei, also a descendant of Confucius? On the northeast corner of Zhuangzi.Here, it seems to be a medium-sized family with a large yard, but they are all bungalows.While watching and hesitating, the sound of whining and dog barking has come and gone.In a short while, there will be people walking around in the village.Having no choice anymore, he bit the bullet and slammed the gate of the villa. Immediately there was a barking of dogs in the yard, and then an old voice asked from inside: "Who is it?" Wu Ciyou opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound Come on, the voice inside is more severe: "Who?"

At this time, Yunniang regained consciousness a little bit, and suddenly remembered that Wu Ciyou could no longer speak, so she forced herself to answer: "I...we are Juren who went to Beijing to take the exam, and we lived in a black shop at night and escaped. Please do your best to rescue us." save us..." There was another silence inside, and suddenly a woman ordered: "Zhang Da, open the door for him. It's almost dawn, what can I do?" The door opened with a "squeak", and an old man with white beard stood tremblingly in the door opening, staring at Wu Ciyou.Seeing that his face was covered with dirt, his lapel was stained with blood, and he was holding a scholar in his arms, he hurriedly took Yunniang over.Tired and frightened, hungry and thirsty, Wu Ciyou was relieved at once, only to feel blackness in front of his eyes, golden flowers bursting out, the world spinning for a while, and he fell down in the doorway with a thump...

When I woke up again, it was already high in the sun.Wu Ciyou looked around, he and Yunniang were lying on each other in the wing room.He looked carefully, feeling a little surprised.When the manor first arrived, it looked exactly like a farmer's house from the outside, but the furnishings inside were quite different.The vermilion lacquer tables and chairs, bookshelves and tea tables, although not lacking in luxury, seem to be from a scholarly family; what is even more strange is that the kind-looking housewife sitting next to Yunniang, wearing a sarong and a peasant woman's attire, But the old servant standing beside her respectfully and respectfully, was wearing a green felt hat, a lake silk gown, and a lambskin wind-fur vest with blue satin and hanging tops!Such an upside-down costume, although I am well-informed.Also can't figure out the reason. Wu Ciyou was wondering, when the woman spoke up: "Scholar, are you awake? Zhang Da, go make tea and bring some snacks!" Wu Ciyou was extremely thirsty and hungry, so he sat up and took the tea and drank it like nectar, but he was ashamed to eat snacks. "Sir, let me not ask you how you got into trouble. Is this woman disguised as a man, your sister or his wife?" Hearing that the woman had broken down his possessions, Wu Ciyou stretched out his hand, pointed to his throat, and gestured for writing.The woman nodded and said: "Oh, I see, you are dumb. Zhang Da, the pen and inkstone are waiting for you!" At this moment, Yunniang woke up with a groan, and saw the woman was interrogating Wu Ciyou, she struggled to sit up and said: "He is not dumb, he is sick and unable to speak. If you have anything to say, master, just ask me. " "it is good".The woman was sitting next to her, and when she heard this, she turned around and said with a smile: "Sister, I don't want to question you. But since you live here, I should know who you are and why are you here? You just have to speak boldly, it’s not my grandma Zhang who is uttering wild words, as long as you agree with me, no one in Shandong will dare to disturb you!” Wu Ciyou was surprised again: "This person is so breathless. Could it be that she is someone from Confucius Yan Shenggong? But she said her surname is Zhang!" Yunniang glanced at Wu Ciyou, and said hesitantly: "He is my elder brother, we...we..." She was thinking about telling the truth and making up a story, when suddenly a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes came in and called him a thousand times. The son said: "Grandma, Kong Lingpei of the Confucian Mansion, came to worship with a post." "Well. Is he the only one?" Grandma Zhang asked. "No, there are more than a dozen yamen servants behind him." "Ah! Bring the yamen servant to me! Didn't you say what's the matter?" "Say... ah, I didn't say anything, I just asked grandma to talk outside." "Well, don't keep talking like this, there must be something to hide from him!" "We really didn't say anything when we went back to grandma." Seeing that grandma Zhang was angry, the young elder hurried forward to whisper a few words. "Well, well, you go tell Kong Lingpei. See you in the next room—you two guests, don't think about it, I'll come back later." When Grandma Zhang said these words, Wu Ciyou seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the sky!The Confucian Mansion, Yan Shenggong, has been passed down from generation to generation for two thousand years, and it is known as "the first house in the world".Local officials, from the governor to the prefecture and county, did not dare to provoke them.This woman actually said casually, "I appreciate seeing" the people of the Confucian family!It's incredible what this person came from. "Hey, grandma, how are you? It's been more than half a year since I saw grandma, and your energy is getting stronger and stronger. Greetings from my nephew!" "Well, get up. Didn't you go to Zheng Chunyou in Gunzhou Prefecture to be a master? What kind of wind brought you back, a noble man?" "Back to grandma," he suddenly lowered his voice after saying this.Wu Ciyou and Li Yunniang could not hear a word. After a while, Grandma Zhang laughed and said, "You have a good nose! How did you know they escaped to me?" "One of them was injured, and the blood dripped all the way to the side of the big canal in the southwest corner of Konglin. My nephew thought they couldn't escape anywhere else, so they must be in our area!" Wu Ciyou and Yunniang couldn't help but hear this. Feeling tensed, he really came to hunt him down! At this time, Grandma Zhang agreed absent-mindedly, and said again: "Oh, maybe someone hid them, just find them and send them back?" "My nephew has checked every house, nothing." "Hey, there are so many tenants in your Confucian Mansion, you may hide in which village or which household. Don't worry, look for it slowly. Since he is injured, can he still fly to the sky?" "Hey, hey, to be honest with grandma, the tenants' houses have already been turned upside down—someone said that when the sky was about to dawn, grandma's dog barked for a long time. My nephew thought, grandma knows the law People, how can they harbor criminals? So I dare to ask for instructions, can I allow my nephew to go to the servant's room, ah, go and check, it's just to go to suspect..." "Oh, I said, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me, and you said hello and hello, such a great filial piety - so you came to my Zhang family to search for thieves! Humph, don't say it's you! Your father is here At that time, the official position was the governor, and that Kong Youde became the prince, and he had to behave well when he entered my three-foot-tall courtyard—is it easy to mess with me? Besides, the servants here have been with the Zhang family for several lifetimes. As a servant, I have never heard of anyone who has been a thief and stowed stolen goods! If there is a thief, I am the first one. Kong Lingpei, tell me the rules, what should I do!" "Hey hey hey, grandma calm down, grandma calm down. It's not that my nephew dared to offend your old man. This matter has a lot to do with it. The government is all on my nephew, and Lord Yan Sheng was not at home when he went to Beijing for a pilgrimage..." "So what if he is at home? We have been neighbors and in-laws with the Confucian Mansion for more than seven hundred years, and we have never heard of anyone daring to touch every plant and tree in my Zhang family. What are you!" Wu Ciyou and the others heard Kong Lingpei's voice change: "Grandma, if you say that, my nephew will be rude! Come and search for me!" "Hey, Kong Lingpei, you have a lot of guts! Zhang Da, send an order to let all the guys come here!" Wu Ciyou got up and looked out through the cracks in the window lattice, only to see that Zhang's servants had already crowded out, and everyone rushed out. Copying a brand-new water and fire stick, lined up in two rows, which is no worse than the prestige of the judicial office!Grandma Zhang snorted again and said to Kong Lingpei: "See? This stick was sent by Yan Shenggong. It's been seven hundred years and I haven't used it yet. Do you want to try it? Seeing that Grandma Zhang was so persistent, Kong Lingpei concluded that Wu Ciyou was definitely here.He gritted his teeth and yelled: "Go!" Before the yamen servant came forward, Grandma Zhang sneered: "Okay, Zhang Da, please take out grandma's dragon-headed crutches and knock the cloud board up. Our Zhang family has one." Robbers, tell them all the people from the Confucian Mansion to come and see." "Zha!" The old elder who opened the door for Wu Ciyou agreed, and walked back. Kong Lingpei panicked immediately: "Hey... hey, hey...!" He knew that the Kong family's family law was extremely powerful, and he was very low in the Kong family, and his misbehavior was long ago hated by the elders of the family. up.If there was a sound of the cloud board, all members of the Confucian mansion would come to the rescue, and seeing that he searched for Grandma Zhang's house, which he couldn't offend, they could beat him to death on the spot, or bury him alive in the pool.At this point, Kong Lingpei didn't dare to be tough: "Don't knock, my nephew has lost his head. Grandma, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as my nephew. Just leave here!" "Hurry up, go outside, they can't fly!" The front yard gradually became silent, and Wu Ciyou and Yunniang felt relieved.But Grandma Zhang didn't come back all day, and Zhang Da came to take care of the tea and food. What happened outside, who is this Grandma Zhang?
